What if the way we design our land… is the same way we should be designing everything else?
In this episode, I sit down with Sam Parker-Davies, a global permaculture designer, educator, and consultant who has worked across multiple continents helping regenerate land, restore ecosystems, and design resilient food systems.
We go far beyond gardening.
Sam shares what it really means to think in systems from soil, water, and food production to the deeper patterns shaping modern life. We also explore the surprising connection between permaculture and today’s rapidly expanding digital world, including AI and data infrastructure and what we might be getting wrong.
This conversation is for anyone interested in:
